I thought the shoes were very nice. However, they were too big (I ordered my usual size). In addition, when they were delivered, I noticed that they didn’t have regular laces but were elastic slip-on... See more

Return policy killer

Love the shoes, not the return policy. Cant return shoes in the SM-store. That’s so inconvinient and certainly not healthy for the enviroment. A reason for me not to order online anymore.

Stay away from this store

Stay away from this store. I really think they are not prepared to deal with customers.

Received the wrong shoes and after all they don’t want give my money back. And yes, the order is on their side since one week. Also they don’t provide any help to customers, they have different rules online and in store. Just a mess this brand. Stay away.

Never received my package

Never received my package. The tracking code said delivered which is NOT the case. After that it got scanned by DHl again and now saying it is on the way again. From there nothing seems to happen with the package. The webshop refuses to take any responsibilty and says I need to contact DHL myself. What kind of weird response is this? YOU are the sender STEVE MADDEN NOT ME! TAKE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND SOLVE THIS CASE

Not happy

I bought the shoes one size up as advised on the Steve Madden but when I received them they were at least one size too big and I had to return them at my own expense. I should not have to pay to return an item I picked following YOUR advice. I’m really upset.

Very expensive return

I would not recommend Buying here if you are not 100% sure about the size or comfort because it cost 13€ for me to send my shoes back. I will not buy anything here again.
